This study will give the opportunity to draw scientifically based conclusions on the recommendations of the use of adjunctive systemic antibiotics in the treatment of peri-implantitis. This study will also be able to determine the ecological impact on the oropharyngeal and intestinal microflora between different antibiotic treatments. The lack of knowledge in this area has been highlighted by the Food and Drug Administration and The Swedish Council on Health Technology Assessment (SBU)
